Avalanche Activity

Only isolated danger zones

Avalanche danger is low. Triggering a small slab (most likely above 2000m on shady very steep slopes) is possible in a few places. In isolated cases a small glide-snow avalanche is possible.

Snowpack Structure

The fundament is weak (faceted crystals beneath crusts) but fracture propagation is unlikely (lacking slab). On shady slopes there is loose snow, on sunny slopes firn conditions are developing.

Weather Forecast

On Monday often limited visibility near valley floors, esp. in the morning hours, due to high fogbanks. Above them, cloudless skies prevail and radiant sunshine, with outstanding visibility. Winds will be light, brisker at high altitudes, from the north. At 2000m: -3 degrees.

Tendency

Little change anticipated
